Development of a Murine Infection Model with Leishmania killicki, Responsible for Cutaneous Leishmaniosis in Algeria: Application in Pharmacology

Figure 3

Parasite burden measured in ears of BALB/c mice infected with Leishmania killicki or Leishmania major. Following intradermal injection of 10³ metacyclic promastigotes, the parasite load was estimated as described in Materials and Methods. Each bar is representative of the mean of five determinations ± standard deviations. Statistical analysis ( and ) was performed using Student’s -test under GraphPad Prism ( mice/group).
